Report #8865
[tooling] Complex find commands are slow or fail on filenames with spaces
Use \`fd -e rs -x wc -l\` for parallel execution or \`fd pattern \| xargs -I \{\} cmd\` instead of find -exec
Journey Context:
The \`find\` command requires careful syntax differentiation between \`-exec \\;\` \(serial\) and \`-exec \+\` \(parallel\), and fails on filenames with spaces without \`-print0\`. \`fd\` respects \`.gitignore\` by default \(skipping node\_modules\), uses intuitive regex, and the \`-x\` flag provides automatic parallel execution with proper argument handling. This prevents the common error of \`find ... \| xargs\` breaking on spaces.
